L is for Laitlum Canyon #AtoZChallenge

Laitlum Canyon lies in the north-eastern state of Meghalaya in India. 

Meghalaya is made up of two words: Megha (meaning clouds) and Alya (meaning home).

Welcome to the home of clouds....welcome to Meghalaya.

Laitlum means 'end of hills'

and today my lovely, loyal readers, we're going to this lush canyon, 
nestled in the East Khasi hills of Shillong.

You don't have to do a thing.

 You don't have to carry anything either.
Bring you with you, though:)
Be here.
Be present: here and now.

Rain is predicted but the sky is still making up his mind whether 
to call the clouds for company 
or just be by himself.

So, all you'll need to do is keep your eyes and your heart open..,

inhale.

exhale

In the deepest of canyons, in the furthest of vistas, tea is available, hot and sweet, no matter where you go in India (or parts of India where tea is preferred to coffee).

 Sweet Sonya sold us a few cups of tea and even smiled for a photo afterwards.

Sometimes a random click can yield a surprising narrative:

 The sun was inching his way to set. 
And while the locals packed up their stalls to leave,

  the tourists tried to hold on to the last possible slivers of light to breathe in 
the 'arms-wide-open-for-a-warm-embrace' kind of beauty of this vast vista.

NO trek/wandering in India is complete without a plate of 
garam, garam Maggi.
Laitlum was no exception.

So long...till we meet again.

It's been a lazy kinda day for me.
It's matched perfectly with L.
How has yours been so far?
